Writing of the Cartoon Analysis

My initial thoughts about writing this paper were that it was going to be challenging to do with 1,500 words. However, once I started writing the paper and got my thoughts flowing onto the paper I definitely realized that it was not going to be hard to complete the paper. The part that helped the most was that I was writing on a topic that I actually found pretty interesting. It also helped that the cartoon I was writing on was interesting to me and not that difficult to analyze. I found a few different aspects of it to talk about that were included in the analysis. Some of these included the comparison between China and Great Britain as world powers and the contrast between the different colors used in the separate frames depicting each country.

            My work in English class last year was helpful for writing this paper because we spent a lot of time analyzing texts and pictures in IB English last year. This definitely pointed me in the right direction for finding comparisons between colors and body language of the characters as well as the deeper meaning for what they may be used for. With things like this to talk about I had no problem thoroughly completing my thoughts on this paper while completing the word limit requirements.

            I also found the sample analysis in the book very helpful for formatting my paper. It was especially helpful for citing the cartoon at the end and coming up with a title for the paper; even though my title might too closely resemble the sample. However this was definitely a helpful resource for me to use and I think it helped me to do a good job completing this rough draft. Hopefully my partner thinks so as well.
